And the best rising stars in the game dress for the occasion.
The 2026 NBA draft featured monochromatic moments, designer statements and perfect patterns. First overall pick AJ Dybantsa impressed, as did Dailyn Swain, Darius Acuff Jr. and Isaiah Evans.
Past NBA draft outfit highlights included Paolo Banchero's bedazzled purple suit, Scottie Barnes' silver suit and, of course, the early 2000s fits of everything oversized. LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony were fashion icons then and continue to be so today.
Will any of this year's looks be as memorable?
Here is the 2026 NBA Draft fit check:
5. Dailyn Swain
Dailyn Swain impressed in a salmon suit. He was among those who made a monochromatic statement, matching his dress shirt to the suit nicely. He made a bold choice going without a tie and let a single chain be his statement piece.
4. Darius Acuff Jr.
Darius Acuff Jr. was all business in a sharp navy suit from Louis Vuitton. The suit had the fashion house's signature monogram subtly printed all over. The Arkansas guard accessorized it with some red shades, an icy chain and an Audemars Piguet watch to make sure to turn heads.
3. Mikel Brown Jr.
Mikel Brown Jr. knew this was a special occasion and dressed like it. The Louisville guard broke the mold and wore a white satin jacket with light blue trousers that match the lapels on the jacket. He topped it off white sneakers, which made the look too cool for school.
2. AJ Dybantsa
AJ Dybantsa knows he's ready for greatness in this intricately detailed look. The black suit from Kenzo has embroidered flowers across the front and a tied belt. A thick satin lapel also elevates this outfit and a slim chain connecting his parents' home nations, Jamaica and the Republic of Congo, added an excellent personal touch.
"I'm super simple," he told Jose Alvarado on the red carpet, "but I wanted to pop a little bit."
1. Isaiah Evans
Isaiah Evans did not come to play in this sharp navy double-breasted suit with red pinstripes, styled and designed by Julian Abdul. The pattern is cohesive throughout the entire outfit, including the dress shirt and tie underneath. The sparkly wallet chain is solid, but adding a $3 million ruby brooch?! Incredible.
